Netflix recently dropped a special teaser of the highly anticipated Squid Game 2, offering a glimpse at what the audience can expect.

Netflix’s survival-thriller series Squid Game is all set to return after three years of the first season. The first part became an instant hit back in 2021. On September 20, the streaming giant released a special teaser on its social media platforms, offering a glimpse of what the audience can expect from the second season. The much-anticipated Korean show will premiere on the streaming platform on December 26.

At the beginning of the teaser, an on-edge Seong Gi-Hun, played by Lee Jung-Jae, wakes up to his doorbell ringing. He opens the door with palpable nervousness while pointing a gun at someone. As the camera pans, the Front Man, a masked leader behind Squid Game, is seen standing opposite to Gi-Hun. The teaser then jumps to the scene where the men in their quintessential pink jumpsuits gear up to welcome the new set of players for the survival game. The Front Man says, “We’re ready to start the game."

The video, showcases Player 456 aka Seong Gi-Hun, returning to the Squid Game wearing the same green tracksuit and new players. After winning the game three years ago, he decided not to move to the US and is back in the game with a new resolution. Gi-hun dives into the mysterious survival game, starting another life-or-death game with new participants who aim to win the whopping prize of 45.6 billion won. The teaser was shared with the caption, “The game never stops. Are you ready to play? SQUID GAME SEASON 2 arrives December 26."

Season 2 of Squid Game will mark the return of Lee Byung-Hun, Wi Ha-Jun, and Gong Yoo, along with new members Yim Si-Wan, Kang Ha-Neul, Park Gyu-Young, Lee Jin-Uk, Park Sung-Hoon, Yang Dong-Geun, Kang Ae-Sim, Lee David, Choi Seung-Hyun, Roh Jae-Won, Jo Yu-Ri and Won Ji-An. As per the reports, the second season will consist of six episodes.

The first instalment of the survival game thriller became one of the biggest hits on Netflix. It became one of the most-watched shows of all time, garnering critical acclaim and international attention. Squid Game received 14 nominations, with Lee even winning the award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series, the first time an Asian actor won this award for a non-English part in 2022.

Just months after the first season’s release, the makers decided to renew it for two more seasons, owing to its widespread popularity. The third and final season will air sometime in 2025.
